Hey Shauno Some custom rock sliders with built in led lights inside them would look sick as it’s something different that no else has got.

[@1noneya10]

Word of the day, Over engineering!!!

[@ToddSwagerty]

As a mechanical engineer, I kept saying "Overbuilt isn't overengineered!" Over engineered is when you spend too much time working out the forces and stresses on a component and design it to be just strong enough without being too heavy. It is often cheaper to just make it a little stronger and not worry too much about the weight.

[@keithk8698]

Shauno you are the heart of the show! You can be so darn funny but the trucks you build are tough and just awesome. Can’t wait to see it out on the trails when you are done. The guys at DMW really do great work hats off to them. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🤙🏼🍻

Australia needs the full size Tundra to be sold there. That would solve the problem of having to convert suvs to trucks.

[@tomback3238]

Nah mate, in the 200 you get rear coils stock and a narrower chassis, the 200 is already an extremely wide vehicle in Australia, and the tundra is even wider again which would be inconvenient for our road widths and parking etc. 200 interior also is a luxury with less road noise and more comfort etc and 200 parts over here are a dime a dozen. Its an all round more capable off road vehicle, not to mention the traction control as well when compared to the tundra

[@jeeper390]

I was gonna ask the same thing. You can get all the luxury options and traction control in the Tundra and it would be far cheaper to convert it to coils than a ute conversion, but they are MASSIVE trucks and there's getting around that.

[@ScottSouthy]

Would prefer the Tacoma. Bigger than Hilux but not massive truck like Tundra.

Gday mate! I’ve actually drummed up an idea to buy a “clear view spider” mounted into the canopy and to a arb dual compressor then have air sockets mounted above each tire then that way you only have to have a small length of air hoses connected to each wheel! And further to that you can control all the air on all 4 tires or! If you want to spilt different psi’s just turn the taps off on the spider tank!

Got nervous about sleeping near the crocs so he cleared out the back passengers side of the canopie and threw his swag up. Seems like a good place to throw a canvas zip off the canopie door, whack in a bed roll from an old swag and have your self a raised up water proof sleeping set up, away from the creepy crawlies and the biting handbags...

It's been the norm in Aus for almost 10 years now 95% of 4wds these days have drawers and fridge slides because it's the trend (like a keeping up with jones thing). Great marketing ploy as like you said it makes the rear of the car essentially useless and once your on the road it's permanent. Nobody really camps these days anymore they're just posers that drag along camper trailers or offroad caravans that are setup like resorts showing off how flash and expensive their setup is and sit in the aircon anyway, bit sad really whats happened to the Aussie outdoor lifestyle
